Coppull Ring Spinning Mill
Anyone who travels along the West Coast main railway line between Wigan and Preston can hardly fail to notice this chunk of Edwardian mill-owner's pride, only a small portion of the east frontage being shown here. But a century after it was built cotton spinning is only one of Britain's industries that has fallen foul of globalisation and now the mill is home to a number of smaller firms dealing in a miscellany of wares, all under the umbrella of Lancashire Enterprises who renovated and modified the building.

Coppull Ring Spinning Mill
The enormous size of the mill built by the Coppull Spinning Company Limited in 1906 can be appreciated here. The block protruding at the right-hand end was the engine house and the dark glass-faced tunnel at roof level immediately above was part of the rope-race through which belts and cables from the engines ran to power line-shafting on each floor the length of the mill. From this line-shafting further belts ran down to each spinning machine. Since closure as a spinning mill, the building has been taken over by Lancashire Enterprises and modified to accommodate a number of small firms dealing in various ways.

This well captures the grandeur of this 1906 cotton spinning mill. It is recognisably by the well known Oldham Mill architects Stott & Sons.

With coarse fishing on the former mill lodge, and providing accommodation for a variety of small businesses, this fine former cotton mill on the outskirts of Chorley earns its Enterprising label.

Taken from an Up express on the WCML, the view is SW, towards Wigan, Warrington, Crewe and the South. Coppull Ring Mill is prominent in the background as Stanier 5MT 4-6-0 No. 45494 (built 1944, withdrawn 9/67) brings a Class J freight along the Down Slow line.
